It was really good to see all our friends again after the holidays, we had lots of fun choosing during Activity Time.
Welcome back to Term 2!
First day back and there was much excitement as it was Halloween!
Gritter Competition
We were all really excited when we got to see one of the new council gritters! We learned lots about gritters and how the council keep the roads safe in winter, it was very interesting!
We’ve all been busy colouring in a gritter and trying to think of a name for the new gritters. Fingers crossed one of us names a gritter!
Buddying with P6B
This term we have been getting to know our P6B buddies. We have all enjoyed having activity time with our buddies and look forward to working with them next term.
Giraffes Can’t Dance
We love the story ‘Giraffes can’t Dance’ and we love Gerald’s dance moves! We made great pictures of Gerald dancing and they really brighten up the school library and corridor.
Hand washing
Dawn Manson visited P1 to help us with our hand washing.
First, we rubbed cream into our hands and pretended that this was dirt on our hands. Then we looked at our hands under the special machine, this made the cream glow!
Dawn reminded us about how best to wash our hands to wash all dirt and germs away. We then washed our hands carefully, trying to was all the cream away. After that we checked them under the special machine again, if our hands were still glowing we had to wash them again until they were clean.
We all did a great job and now when we wash our hands before snack and lunch we all know how to clean our hands really well.
Activity Time
Each day when we have Activity Time we work on a different activity with our group. We have an activity wheel to show us what activities our group is working on and each day the wheel is moved so that we get to do all the activities during a week. We all enjoy Activity Time.
Fun Friday Activities
This term we have have all enjoyed taking part in Fun Friday activities with P1a.
Fine Motor Skills
We have been spending time developing our fine motor skills. We have lots of fun activities which help us develop a good pencil grip.
Screenplay at Mareel
We had a fantastic trip to Mareel in our first week of P1. We all really enjoyed watching the short clips and had lots of fun afterwards taking part in the craft activities.
